[Verse 1]
Puppy met a turtle in the backyard glow,
Fast legs, slow shell, but the bond did grow.
Chasing fireflies, they would dance through the night,
Underneath the moon, everything felt right.
[Chorus]
Shells and paws, two hearts collide,
A bond so pure, where love resides.
But now I’m howlin’ at the empty skies,
One gone missing, the other cries.
[Verse 2]
Puppy barked, turtle would just nod,
Unlikely pair, a gift from God.
Dug holes in the dirt, swam streams side by side,
Two best friends, no reason to hide.
[Bridge]
Now the leash hangs loose, no steps to trace,
The pond’s too quiet, an empty space.
Shell in the water, floating like a dream,
Turtle's last breath, lost in the stream.
[Chorus]
Shells and paws, two hearts collide,
A bond so pure, where love resides.
But now I’m howlin’ at the empty skies,
One gone missing, the other cries.
[Verse 3]
Puppy still waits by the edge of the yard,
Memories hit heavy, they cut so hard.
Turtle’s gone, but the love won’t fade,
Echoes of laughter in the games they played.
